Courting In tht Hnckwoods. Travellers encounter strange adventures, and find out more about a country in 'a brief tour than ita inhabitants ever knew. Madame Pulsfey. for example, gives us a piece of information about love in the backwoods which will probably astonish the backswoodown themselves. She wr.tes: "Soon after the arrival of AJJha*j on the banks cn the Thompson rtver, when he and his party had hardly pitched jlheir lent, a ycung backwoodsman came on horseback tip to them, and said, "Which is the daughter ot the Hungarian GeneralT'—Miss Ujhazy who spoke English, asked him what he wanted! *•1 reckon it is time fer me to marry," was the reply **and I oame to propose to you." Th» young lady began to laugh, bat her trawl suitor declared that he waa in full earnest that he did not live far off, and that be would assist bur father la ev«r? »ay. Bat when he saw thai his proposal was not cepfed, he rode of la hi® business, without having alighted from his horse during the conversation. The Hungarians afterwards teamed, that in the backwoods not much time is wasted in courting young lad^s. or paying them attention before marriage. The pioneer visits a neighbor who has grown-up daughters, and asks. "How do jroa do!" piac«s himself on a chair before the ohtsoM]f, chews, spfrs in the fire, aad attest* not another word, after awhfle he takes Mi leave, and when he has passed aooupk of aooh iftsttara ©*U»,be says to the jrmitf lady, «l reckon sbwild m&mr yews** The swer is commonly, **l have no objection." The couple without further ceremony, pt*oe*d to the juatitoe of the peaee ud when the fclathodist Miniootiy feappees to «KMM* in their neighborhood, this swS Marriage ta •olanwisi! refeigkmaly."

Arctic Diet.
-,v The second Grinoeli expedition, whieh ia soon to leave our snores, takes with it an admirably sjFSteroatised diatory—the result, evidently of much careful study. iPor long marches where the labor of car nage requires thejgreaiest economy of weight a condensed and portable food becomes of paramount importance. Until very lately the rijte was the larder of the frontiers man, but we are now in the midst of a great exodus. Men, women, and children strike out our western deserts and the vast inner spaca between our Atlantic and Pacific civilizations, amass of moving life. YVe think that a valuable practical lesson might be taught to such emigrants, by the preparations of this little Arctic party.
We devoted a morning to an inspection of their resources. They lake out with them the meat biscuit of Borden, the desiccated vegetable of Cholet, the impacted milk calte of the Messrs. Abbot, and the Pemican of the Indian voyageurs. ,.r 2um'
The meat biscuit, has after careful experiment been adopted by Dr. Kane for his •ledge journeys. It combines the essential elements, of flour and beef, and six ounces a day have been proved to be sufficient to sustain life, while in active exercise. Sir Lyon Playfair, who aualysed this article at (he World's Fair, reports in unquaMed terms as to its value. The vegetables are dried by rapidly changing atmospheres, and compressed by hydraulic power so as to occupy an inconceivably small bulk. The milk which is destined to do away with passenger cows, was aa bard aa a brickbat, but by the aid of a little water, was hardly distinguishable from breakfast cream.
But the great stand by, the tktel anchor of Arctic voyages, was the Pen ican. All our Northern Indian tribes, but especially the Crees and Chippewyans, use this preparation for their long marches. It consists of the pounded meats ot the moose or buffalo carefully dried by fire and sun, and incorporated with fat or marrow. The wQrd Pemis, which, in the Algonquin, signifies grease, is probably the origin of the term.
The Pemican of the American expedition was prepared on a large scale from beef, and in it* manHfacture,. we were .much i|y terested.
lt-
We were ahown into a large kiln of some twenty-five feet square, heated to a temperature ot about 140 deg. Fahrenheit, and completely filled with beef steaks. No less than 4,000 lbs, of carefully cut rump steaks were strung upon wooden frames, und undergoing the process of drying. The sieaks when dried to one-forth its original weight, was ground in a mill to the size of pounded hominy, and then mixed with an equal weight of pure lard.
The whole process was superintended by Mr. Borden the inventor ot the meat biscuit—who had been selected by Mr. Grinnell to carry out his instructions. We were told that four thousand pounds of meal and one of lard would make about two thousand of this concentrated diet, and that the scale of Dr. Kane's rations for his final, sledge journey over the Polar ice, would be' limited lo two pounds per man per diem of this novel compo'und of beef arid grease.
Well as this is adapted to its purpose, those of ue "who live at home at ease/ could not help being impressed with the privaiion of men who dragging their sledges overj a wildernes of. ice, have but this homely mixture to sustain their energies and prepare them for the labors ahead.-— Great credit is due to Dr. Kme for his skilful exertions in this rnallor.
Some weeks since Prince Paul of Wur" temburgh having returned from his third |scientific exploration ofour Western territories in the course of which he added largely to his collectfons in Botany, Zoology and
Mineralogy, sailed from this port on his way to the Straits of Magellan and Patagonia for the purpose of exploring the extremity of the South American Continent. The undertaking is a bold one, but the Prince is as much a man of courage, invention and endurance as he is a savan, and if any one can accomplish the task he has undertaken it is himsdf. The great dangers to be apprehended are from the savages and want of food and against both of these the adventurous traveller goes as "Well provided as possible. One of *he questions we may expect to have settled by the party is. whether the precious metals abound in the mountains of that inhospitable region. Nothing is more likely than it will turn out another £1 Dorado and add its quo^a to the golden flood that is pouring upon the world Of course if the Prince finds valuable mines there be will have the right to take possession of a reasonable proportion of the same for his own working, after which the rest must he thrown open to the use of mankind at large, like those of California and Australia. It would add a new feature to the revolutions erf this revolutionary century if Patagonia should rise into importance become a German colony, an4 suddenly come to yioM a mighty power in the balance of commerce and industry. Such a thing may very easily happen, hut meantime tot us wait in pauenoe lor the report of the princely adventurer. «»i»

'•The new Empress of France had fiftyeight splendid wedding dresses made a few days previous to her marriage. Her pocket handerkerchiefs, it is said, cost two thousand francs apiece."
It can't be possible, my dear woman, that you sold all your bright charms for that silly Irash! It is my opinion that those
(*two
thousand francs" handkerchiefs will be pretty well tear-stsined, before you will have done with them. You ambitious little monkey. you played your cards to perfection I like you for that, because like to see anything thoroughly done, if it be only courting but if you don't get tired to death of that old rave, my name is not Fancy. He bears about as much resemblance to his uncle," as Tom Thumb does to the Colossus of Bhodes. He is an effeminate, weak-minded, vacillating, contemptible apology for a man never having done anything worthy of the name of Napoleon, that 1 $ver beard of. Keep him under your thumb, you beautiful little witch, or your pretty fiead may pay the forfeit who knows? *lt will not require much diplomacy, for you are the smarter of the two, unquestionably —but you had better look as meek ss Moses, and ''keep dark" about that. Don't let that managiog mother of yours be poking her Spanish nose into French state secrets. Give her a baby to tend, and keep her quiet. Look as handsome as you can. Frenchmen adore beauty differing in this respest from men in general!)
Keep on good terms with the common people, and don't flirt (if you can help it) with the prime ministers. If you can get a chance to think, and to improve your mind, do so but it don't matter much you are so handsome you will be a "card," any how. I wonder if you have a true woman's heart! or. are you nothing but a little butterfly of a coquette? Do you like anything so well as your own pretty self! and have you any resources in reserve, upon which lo fall back when your youth and beauty shall have flown?—Bless my soul! what a stupid Americanism! I humbly beg your Highness' pardon—I forget that a French woman never grows old or ugly.
Well, dance away, little Empress—but 1 tell you that you are dancing over a volcano. I would not be in your satin slippers, for a bright sixpence. In the first place, 1 should despise such a doll baby husband. In the next place, I hate form, and state, and etiquette. 1 should be as nervous as an eel in a frying-pan, to have ail those maids of honor tagging at my heels. 1 know that I should be sure to laugh in the wrong place, and cry when 1 felt like it, spite of dukes and duchesses and I should be just as likely to tell Napoleon to tie up my slipper, or pull his mustache, if he said anything I did not like. No, a French court would not tame my republican blood. 1 will give you permission, my dear to drop me a line, now and then, (when your old gentleman is asleep, or closeted with some of his old parlei vons.) and tell rr if you don't tire of all their French grandeur, and long to drop your regal robes, an slip off incog to some dim old wood, where you could lay your soft cheek to the cool grass, and hear only the little birds sing! My name is Fanny Fern, your Highness whatever further information you may require, you can procure of almost any body in the United States—-for they all know more, about my affairs than I do myself. FANNY FERN.
I^Fenny Fern's Best Thing* [We Ihink Fanny Fern never wroW^s better pair of paragraphs than the following, Irom the Olive Branch:)—"LOOK oar THIS HCT0RK, AND THEN OX THAT.—-4Father IS coming!' and little round faces grow long, and merry voices are hushed, and toys are hustled into the closet, and mamma glances nervously at the door, and baby is bribed with a lump ot sugar to keep the peace and father's business face relaxes not a muscle and the little group huddle like timid sheep in a corner, and tea is despatched as silently as if speaking were prohibited by the statute book, and the children creep like culprits to bed marvelling that baby dare crow jo loud, now that Father has come.* "Fatheris coming!' and bright eyes sparkle for joy, and tiny feet dance with glee, and eager faces press against the win-dow-pane, and a bevy of rosy lips claim kisses at the door, and picture-books lie un* rebuked on the table, and tops, and balls, and dolls, and kites are discussed, and little Susy lays her sott cheek against the paternal whiskers with the most fearless abandon,' and Charley gets a lovepat for his medal,' and mamma's face grows radiant, and the evening paper is read (not silently, but aloud.) and tea, and toast, and time vanish with equal celerity, for jubilee has arrived, and 'Father has come/'*'

The Execution of Ji^jsr Andre. The principal guard-officer, who was constantly in the room with the prisoner, relates that when the hour of his execution was announced to him in the morning, he received it without emotion, and while all present were affected with silent gloom, he retained a firm countenance, with calmness and composure ot mind. Observing his servant enter the room in tears, he exclaimed. Leave me till you can show yourself more manly.*" His breakfast being sent to him from the table of Gen. Washington, which had been done every day of his confinement, he partook oi it as usual and, having ahaved and dressed himself, he placed his hat on the table, and cheerfully said to the guard-officers, *'l am ready at any moment, gentlemen, to wait on, you." The fatal hour having arrived, a large detachment of troops were paraded, and an immenss concourse of people assembled almost all our general and field officers, excepting his excellency and his staff, were present on horseback melancholy and gloom pervaded all ranks—the scene was affecting and awlul.
1 was so near during the solemn march to
the fatal spot as to observe every movement
and participate ,n every emotion which the
melancholy scene was calculated to pro* uce..
While wailing and standing near the gallows, 1 observed some degree of trepidation —placing his foot on a stone, and rolling it over, and choaking in his throat, as if attempting to swallow. So soon, however, as he perceived thai things were in readiness, he stepped quickly into the wagon and at this moment he appeared to shrink but, instantly elevating his head with firmness, he said. "It tfill be but a momentary pang and taking from his pocket t'vo white handkerchiefs, the provost-marshall with one loosely pinioned his arms, and the other the victim, after taking off his hat and stock, bandaged his own eyes with perfect firmness, which melted the hearts and moistened the cheeks not only of his servants, but of the throng of spectators. The rope being appended to the gallows, he slipped the noose over his head, and adjusted it to his neck witheut the assistance of the executioner.— Colonel Soammel now informed him that he had an opportunity to speak if he dasired it. He raised the handkerchief from his eyes and said, "1 pray you lo bear me witness that 1 meet my fate like a brave man!" The wagon being now removed from under him, he wa« suspended, and instantly expired.— Chambers's Repository. mffpHu
A Lawyer aad a Priest's Idea of Restita? tion. In Chicago, a few weeks ago, one of the most distinguished lawyer in that city was one day waited upon by Bishop Vandeveld and Father McElhern, of the Catholic Church, and presented with eight dollars which the Bishop said was a restitution made to the lawyer by one of Father MoEihera's flock, for a wrong dome to him lo that amount. "What the nature tip'wrong, or Uy whom it was done, the bishop and priest re* faced of course to divutge, as the knowledge had been obtaios^i through the confessional. The lawyer flfused to take the money offered as was, as a payment in full for a wrong donatio the ground that a wrong could not be Winds right by money.

First, vou need health. An earnest student is prone to ruin his health. Hope cheats him with the belief that, if ho can study now without cessation, he can do so always. Reoause he does not see the end oi his strength, he foolishly concludes there is no end. A spendthrift of health is one of the most reprehensible spendthrifts. I am certain I could have performed twice the labour, both better and with greater ease to myself, had I known as much of the laws of health and life, at twenty-one. as I do now. In college, I was taught all about the motions of the planets, as carfully as though they would have been in danger of getting off the track if I had not known how to trace their orbits hut about my own organization, and the con

It was his earnest desire to be shot, as being the mode of death most comformable to the feelings of a military man, and he had indulged the hope that his request would be granted. At the moment, therefore, when he came suddenly in view of the gallows, he involuntarily started back, and made a pause. "Why this emotion, sir?" said an officer by his side. Instantly recovering his composure, he said, "I am reconciled to my death but I detest the mode."

fifty percent more than brain. Endurance, cheerfulness, wit, eloquence, attain a force aud splendour with health wliioh they never can approach without it. It often happens that the credit awarded to the inielleu!, belongs to the digestion. Tlnugh I do not believe that genius and eupepsy are convertible terms, yet the former can never rise lo its loitiest heights unaided by the latter. "Again: a wise man, with a great enterprise before him. first looks round for suitable instruments wherewith lo execute it aud he thinks it all-important to coinm tnd those instruments before he begins his labour.— Health is an indispensable instrument for the best qualities and the highest finish of all work. Think of the immense advantage you would have in a suit in court, if, after a week's or a fortnight's investigation of Suets, you could come in for the closing argument on the last day, fresh an3 elastic, with only so much more of momentum aud fervour for the velocity and the glow you had acqu ired."
Mexico—Her llestiiiy.
The political and financial coudition of Mexico ai the present time, is attracting the attention of our political economists, who see therein vast results unfolding themselves. She has a foreign debt pending ol about 852,000,000, and a domestic debt of §76,176.408. making a round aggregate of some •130,00.1,000 to struggle against without the nbility of paying. That Iter resources for liquidating are diminishing is a fact shown by ft decrease of her revenue, from #20,000,0 W before her independence to 810.003.000, under Gen. Arista. Ilow can this immense debt be met, each year
taken the stars when it should have oome their turn. The consequence was, I broke down at the beginning of my second college year, and have never bad a well day since. Whatever labour 1 have since been able to do, I have done it all on credit, instead of capital—a most ruinous way, either in regard to health or money. For the last twenty-five years, so far as it regards health, 1 have been put, from day to day on my good behaviour and during the whole of this period, as a Hibernian would say, if I had lived as other folks do for a month, I should have died in fortnight. "Health has a great deal to do with what the world calls talent. Take a latvyer's life ^rvants. There are portions of our ooun through, and high health is at least equal to
